Mark Connelly, 61, is facing several charges, including a felony charge of reckless conduct with a deadly weapon -- his car.

Police said that until this week, they had no dealings with Connelly. But on Tuesday, police were outside his home for nearly 10 hours trying to talk with him after a report that he made suicidal threats.

Police said they were concerned about guns inside the home and the community's safety, but in the end, they didn't have to go inside.

On Thursday, police said, a witness reported seeing Connelly in a car on Main Street about 8 p.m. The witness initially believed a child was crying in Connelly's car and might have been in danger, but when the witness approached, Connelly drove off.

Police said they later determined there was no child in the car, but they pursued him because of the incident earlier in the week. As Connelly headed toward his home, he wouldn't stop for officers, police said.

According to court paperwork, another officer partially blocked the road with his cruiser, but Connelly continued to drive toward him, swerving at the last moment off the roadway.

Police said Connelly continued to drive into his own driveway, where he put his hands out his window and waved in a mocking manner.

The court documents said Connelly swore at the officers and then opened his garage door. An officer ran over to the car and used a stun gun on Connelly before he could drive on, according to court documents.
